Good morning,
I'm having an odd problem. I believe it's filesystem related on the
backup target machine, but I can't find it.
Here's the thing. The target, marked as p01 below, had a severe
filesystem corruption. I reinstalled the OS, and fixed everything I
could find. There were a lot of weird entries, where files had become
pipes, directories, or devices. Some files became absolutely huge, and
inodes were cross linked. It was a real mess. I ended up copying
everything off to another drive, and wiping out the array.
The backup destination is marked as 'backup'. It's been working
fine. Until I brought p01 back up, things were great. Now it's getting
hung up on something. No idea what, it just does. I've seen this
happen before with corrupt filesystems, or oddball files in the wrong
places. I can't seem to get it to spit back what the problem is. While
this is all fun, there are 2,209,728 files on the server, and I get a
headache after reading about 200 of them. :)
Following is the result from the normal debugging, and information
about my servers. I've shortened the hostnames and IP's for privacy.
Any advice?
My other servers are backing up fine, so I have no suspicions of a
problem with BackupPC here.
Thanks,
JW Smythe
